1. How did we get from ""Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists and every government that supports them," "And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism." to a place that lets hundreds of thousands march in the streets of a country we liberated, shouting: "Death to America" "Death to Israel"?
2. And can someone please tell me how we got to a place that allows Iran and Syria to fund and arm their client, terrorist group Hezbollah, and then have hezbollah attack democratic Israel with Katusha rockets without a response on Iran and Syria?
From the reports I've read, hezbollahs leader enjoys the shelter of the Iranian embassy while planning his next attack. Syria's Assad, and Iran's Ahmadinejad are enjoying comfort rather then bombardment.
3. If this is the best Bush has got in the "war on terror" then 3 more years in Iraq is a waste. It's a waste because the ideology of hate, wrapped up in religion, martyrdom, and fascism remains. This is what needs fighting. This is what must be brought to it's knees.
1. I am guessing you are talking about Iraq, since I have not seen anything on this yet. If so, what you are seeing in Iraq now is the result of a campaign of massive infiltration and violence. Not quite as violent, but Lebanon went through this as well, beseiged by Iran, finally enslaved and made into a puppet state. Remember the assassinations, and now Hezbolla is stronger than the lebonese National military! Iraq is on the burner now, Lebanon securely in Iran's pocket. I wouldn't doubt that 1/2 that crowd was either infiltrators or Iranian soldiers. Right now, Iraq is in a struggle with Iran and syria and the decision of whether they become the next 'Lebonese' puppet state hangs in the balance!
-- Also, the 'bad' thing about liberating and giving a people freedom is that they have a choice, whether we agree with it or not.
2. Easy:
A. The United Nations, the criminal and inept organization that it is, has served up lebanon and Israel to Iran, syria, Hamas, and hezbollah on a silver platter for more than 50 years! Moronic cease-fires that come by means of evil/traiterous resolutions like 1559, which was a scam - a facade, a LIE - that called for cease fire, tied Irsrael's hands so they could do nothing but sit back and watch as Iran and Syria enslaved Lebanon and turned it into an armed headuarters from which the heavily Iranian-funded/supplied/armed/manned Hezbollah terrorists organization launched attacks on Israel! daily flights of arms were seen coming in from Iran....and the U.N. OBSERVERS' hands were tied to do just that - do nothing but observe the military build-up and preparation for future war with Israel! After the pounding the Israelis have given hezbollah, this latest cease-fire is yet another death-blow/attack on Israel by the U.N., shackeling Israel's hands while allowing Hezbollah to re-build and re-arm for the NEXT onslaught/attack on Israel.
B. What I call the 'International Clinton Denial-ists'
-- Osama declared war on the U.S. back in the mid to late 90s then sent his 'army' of terrorists to stalk and kill us abroad: Kobar Towers, USS Cole, 2 African Embassies....all perpetrated without fear of repercussion! Clinton chose to deny/ignore Osama's declaration of war on the U.S. then looked at each attack that followed as an individual terrorists attack (which he ignored each time) instead of as all tied together as part of the Islamic Extremists' attack on the western world. This only emboldened the terrorists and brought them hunting us on our own soil!
--- Today's International Leaders, led by the Criminal Koffi Annan (who has his head shoved so far up his @$$ that he can't even bring himself to acknowledge that Hezbollah is a terrorist group, that they are armed, manned, and trained by Iranians - even when Hezbollah fighters are saying it, and will not acknowledge remarks by Iranian and Syrian leaders who publicly vow to totally destoy Israel and the U.S. - that this is their ultimate goal)..... Today's International Leaders, led by the Criminal Koffi Annan are suffering from the same thing. they look at each attack or bombing, in denial, and convince themselves that it is an isolated incident instead of part of this huge war the Islamic Extremists, lead by Iran, are waging! They ignore the attacks, the suicide bombings, the rocket attacks, and the kidnappings. they ignore Hezbollah kidnapping women and children to use as human shields, ignore them putting weapons in heavily populated areas - hoping for civilians deaths to use against Israel in the propoganda war. Instead, the U.N. seeks to blame Israel, the victim, and demand they use some ridiculous measure of restraint that no other country in the world, especially the major powers, would ever consider were the shoe on the other foot!
Flashback: WW2. Hitler wrote in Mein Kumpf (sorry - spelling) that he was not ready to take military action when he moved his Army into the Rhine Land, the buffer zone set up at the end of WW1. He said if the french would have voiced or shown any backbone and resisted, he would have pulled out immediately. He said he took France's reaction of giving in to Hitler's move as wakness and a sign that France would put up no resistance for its own survival, that they would rather roll over and be taken rather than fight.
At the end of WW2, instead of putting the map back the way it ws pre-war, leaders backed down and sought to appease russia, giving away countries who were sovereign pre-war, countries that were not theirs to divy up like so many cards. The U.N. is doing both of these things now! They are divying up the Middle east - refusing to go in to Iraq to help establish and defend the new goverment (which is their responsibility as defined in their charter), allowing iran to enslave lebanon without so much as a voiced complaint, and allowing the continuous attacks on Israel for the lat 58+ years and counting....all to appease the evil in the world....rolling over as france did in WW2. They hope this is not the war (possibly WW3) their ees tell them is happening without them doing one finger to prevent it. They are hoping it all goes away, like Clinton did after the kobar towers, the USS Cole.....
3. 'If that is all Bush has'..... Dude, you are barking up the wrong tree. We were told by the U.N. - the world's protector' - not to go into Iraq and oppose a dictator who was raping, torturing, and murdering thousands - maybe millions - of his own people. We did anyway and are still fighting the good fight. Where is the U.N.? After hezbollah attacked Israel, bush stayed out of it 1) so that America would not be directly involved which would bring in Anti-American sentiment. As a result, many arab nations actually defended israel at 1st and rebuked Iran and Syria openly. I'd say that is/was a smart move. 2) He also stayed out of it and delayed any weak-@$$ed U.N. cease fire to give Israel an opportunity to do the U.N.'s job - enforcing Resolution 1559 from 2001!
While the Dems are screaming 'we can't win', 'we are the enemy', 'there is no wat on terror', and 'we should all stop fighting and appease the enemy/encourage tolerance to/with an enemy that has no tolerance but only wants to kill us all, Bush has fought the good fight and continues to do so.
What the world needs right now is fopr all the world leaders, especially those with western-style democracies, to wake the F*@& up and see what is going on....and join the fight! The U.s. can't do it all, pal, and the rest of the worl would rather lay their necks on the chopping block and pretend it ain't happening while Osama is bringing his knife closer to their throats while the Al jazeera TV Cameras role!
